As described in <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, the interaction between date_and_time and random_seed when getting a seed from date_and_time.

Some reshuffling could take care of this. -- Summary: random_seed and date_and_time Product: gcc Version: 4.3.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: libfortran AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: tkoenig at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32812
